18. You Can Quote Me On This
“Adopting Agile without the
corresponding shift in
consciousness is mostly
pointless.”
-- @andreaprovaglio
19. Consciousness and Leadership
“What determines which stage an organization
operates from? It is the stage through which its
leadership tends to look at the world. […]
This means that an organization cannot evolve
beyond its leadership’s stage of development.”
-- from “Reinventing Organizations”
20. Management and Leadership

resources to get a known job done

you believe in

Accountability

22. Teal and Agile Leaders
Everyone leads, everyone follows
from time to time
Agile Leaders invites others to take
leadership, contextually
Teal Leaders create orgs that don’t
need hierarchies or consensus to
operate effectively and efficiently
They develop practices inviting to
reclaim one’s inner wholeness
They invite to listen and understand
what purpose the organization
wants to serve
They manifest Servant Leadership to
the organization (their purpose)
26. Let’s Wrap It Up
Although a small minority, these new organizations
are the ones that brilliantly STAND OUT.
Modern, high-performance organizations are based
on a specific type of (Teal?) consciousness
An organization can only evolve up to the stage of
consciousness of its leaderships
